B'l <K>ubta about (lie power of ?ij?kes to fa***inute Of charm their vfcfBWi ?><> I will re late what I saw on Wednesday. the nth instant: I had Ihvii out to ?jM> of my i\?rn jfleW* votue distamv from the l\ou*? ami carried my gun along, a* t)?e field is entirely surrounded hy Mvamp and hummock land. ami something had do shoved a quantity of corn. I saw nothing ti> slu?ot, however, and started back hoine, when I walked up to a large rattler lying out straight, hot with his hc?d to a tree. which I txv ttced wuh a hickory. The snake seemed to t>e looking up !))<> tree. I kicked some trash on It, hut It paid no attention to it at all. Then I discovered some imrtlolea of hickory nut falling and immediately remembered thontorie-s I had *o often hoard of ? snake farming a equlfrel. ho I stepped ivack about twelve or flf-; toon feet and sat down with my book to a Hiiift 11 tree, where I could look 4>oth at the snake ami up the tree he wan watching. lu a few momenta a nut dropped and I saw a squirrel run out on a llinh to net another. He goi it and started hack to the tro<\ hut stopped about half-way and iookisl down. I could not at first tell -hut. what it may have seen it?e, hut, ? ?n looking down at. the snAke, I snw it slowly colling as if getting ready for business and It began- to ring its rattles very slowly and very low. 1 looked back at the squirrel and saw it croasways on "the Mmh looking down. It would turn back and forth as If very restless. It droj ped the nut it had just picked and slowly went Imck t<? the tree and hegan to come down but it stojip??d at every 1 im>? ami looked at the snake.. I soon found It was paying no atten tion to me. ns- l iimsI uiy hat t?? brush mosquitoes and it nppear<?d ihU to ??H' it at all. After It passed the limbs of the tree in its descent It would crawl very slowly for a few inches ami halt a moment. 1 -romemliered I had been told that if one were to shoot a snake at such time the squirrel would fall dead, but I wanted to see the finish. So I wit there ami watched. In a few Twftnutes the squirrel came to within alsnit three feel of the ground, when ?Middenly the Miake struck and ealight it. by the head.' The squirrel never moved, not ??von a foot or Its tail. The snake hob I It a moment ami looked around as if defy inir any one <>r any thing to Interfere. Then it proceeded to lick the squirrel a Utile bit. but not nearly as much as one would imagine before he slowly swallowed it. Then 1 sh?M the snake and booked a'sharp stick in it< head or mvk. as the head was shot off. and 1 dragged it back toward home until 1 came to some hands working in the. bay fjeld. when 1 cut the snake open and took out the -qiiirrel for all to see. Now here i< another -t.range thing: ,lu>t a few hours later one of the ne groes killed another rattler near the (?lie I had killed and dragged there. Tliey say it followed the trail. I>1*1 it really ibrsoV 1 do not know. And did the snake charm the squirrel? It hxikisl -o. at lea?t. > or I never be lieved it before.
